The CSS float property is used to position an element to the left or right of its containing element. This property can be used to create the familiar two-column or three-column layout where elements are placed side-by-side without needing to use floats and positioning. This can be particularly useful for creating websites with a responsive design, as the floated elements will automatically adjust to the changing window size as the browser is resized.
